Danone-AQUA is committed to reduce plastic waste that enters the oceans through a comprehensive approach by creating a circular business model, where currently 70% of Danone-AQUA’s business has come from the production of drinking water with reusable gallon packaging. Danone AQUA also has the product AQUA 100% Recycled Plastic, which is the first 100% recycled plastic bottle packaging in Indonesia that’s is also 100% recyclable which is is good for the environment.

IPRO is ready to help Danone-AQUA’s commitment which is carried out through three important steps, starting from the development of a plastic waste collection ecosystem, educating consumers to take responsibility for the waste they produce and innovation in the packaging used.

The Indonesia Packaging Recovery Organization (IPRO) signed a Memorandum of Understanding on accelerating the implementation of a circular economy in managing waste with the stakeholders in Bali on July 21, 2021 in a thematic session webinar organized by Greeneration Foundation in the event the 4th Indonesia Circular Economy Forum. The collaboration was carried out with Bali PET, ecoBali, and McKinsey.org
.
With this collaboration pattern, McKinsey.org will play a role in encouraging the transformation of holistic waste management from the selected TPS3R (Reduce Reuse Recycle) in Denpasar through the Rethinking Recycling Academy Program. EcoBali will encourage local waste management while increasing the capacity of waste banks and social inclusion in Bali.

And, Bali Pet plays a role in increasing the capacity to collect specific material packaging waste which is PET. IPRO will provide an incentive financing scheme to run the program.

The Head of the Bali Provincial Environment Agency, I Made Teja, and the Director of Waste Management at the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, Novrizal TAHAR, appreciated the program. They hope that this collaboration can manage the waste in Bali in a circular economy scheme, considering that the Suwung landfill in Denpasar, Bali is already in the stage of over capacity.
